If I have/create a csv-file with the tickers AND some additional information (Full name, market etc.), how can I get all that data into the symbols?

Thanks!

Best Answer

- First, create a list of symbols by clicking on "Symbols -> Create a list of symbols from a file".
- Load your file and update the first row settings
- Select "Symbols -> Add-Remove from a list of symbols"
- Click on "Select List", load your previously created list, and then click on "Add".
- Click again on "Add" on the form that display conflict name symbols

Note that the existing tickers information will be deleted (full names, market...)

You can also use the global script tool to update tickers information (Tools -> Script Editor)

Thanks, I really should have been able to figure that out.

Another quick question if I may - if I set the chart template to black, how can I change the color of the cross-hair?

Thanks again for your help!

Hi,

You can change the cross-hair color by clicking on the button near the arrow button (the second button in the first drawing tools tool-bar)
